Oh this is good, there even is chancel repair liability insurance!
And from the same page, this is really good, including the awesome name "Law Lords":Andrew and Gail Wallbank received a demand for almost £100,000 to fund repairs of their parish's medieval church at Aston Cantlow. After a protracted legal battle, as they sought to challenge this ruling, the Law Lords found in favour of the parochial church council, leaving the Wallbanks with a £350,000 bill including legal costs.
And if one wants more of absolute nonsense legal British vocabulary, this is the pinnacle:The historic rectory of St. John the Baptist church, Aston Cantlow's was acquired by the Priors of Maxstoke in 1345 leaving a "discharged vicarage" (as the name for the living of the priest) and creating lay improprietors (lay rectors) of the glebe land – e.g. in 1848 this was the Earl of Abergavenny. He held the glebe land, in this case helpfully named Glebe Farm, so was responsible for the chancel.

Thank you for the elaboration, all the examples I’ve encountered so far were flats indeed, not houses. -

I was surprised to find out that in the UK, even properties “for sale” actually are long-term leases. This is how for sale listings can boast “982 years left on the lease”. Selling a property just means passing the lease around. Is it a remnant of feudalism like I suspect? -

Worthy additions, even though they never have been relevant to me. I can eat a lot, never sleep more than I need (more often it's less), am very sensitive to spice and never drank alcohol beyond tasting. -

This is why I didn't end up drawing professionally, too easy, not challenging enough, and went with web engineering instead. ♲ @shenanigansen@twitter.com: i think i speak for all of us when i say that drawing is a breeze and very easy and doesn't take very long at all and every line is perfect on the first try

I can recommend the Autistic Self Advocacy Network that you shall listen to when it comes to autism-related information: autisticadvocacy.org -

- Most autism-related public campaigns are self-congratulating feel-good frauds, either useless or harmful to autistic people.
- When autistic people voice their concerns about these campaigns, they are promptly shut down by abled people.
- Suggestion: Don't support autism-related campaigns unless you have the assurance it's by and for autistic people.

I’ve heard it 25 years ago from a French comedian but it keeps being true so it bears repeating: forming a couple is solving together problems you would never have had on your own. -

I have a very remote relationship with #autism, but this thread spells good reasons to steer clear of most autism-related public campaigns regardless of your own relationship with autism. ♲ @Sara_Rose_G@twitter.com: If you’re not autistic, please read: here’s how the cycle of autism misinformation works:
Neurotypicals (parents, researchers, autism professionals) decide to do something to “help” us. Usually it’s something distinctly unhelpful 1/ -

For my #Texas friends, you know who you are (because I have no idea). ♲ @littlewhitty@twitter.com: A TX law encouraging private citizens to turn in abortion providers and anyone who helps someone get an abortion starts Sept 1. Someone already created a site for anonymous tips. It would be a shame if it became unusable because of too many false tips. 😉

Remember that in any competition, the actual winner isn’t first place, it’s whoever organized the competition. This especially applies to Olympic Games where gold medals are just a distraction from the horrific transfer of wealth from hosting countries to the IOC. -

Your regular reminder that #Friendica natively supports following #RSS / #Atom feeds, often you can just put the website URL in the search box and we’ll find the feed for you! ♲ @tio@social.trom.tf: I have tested many RSS Readers, and there are some great ones, but Friendica also acts as one and does a fantastic job at. This was one of the features that convinced me to move form Mastodon to Friendica. The fact that I can follow anyone on the fediverse + any RSS feed....is just too good! I keep on saying this, but Friendica is really underrated. #tromlive
